MANILA, Philippines— Vice President Leni Robredo on Sunday said a United Nations Human Rights Council investigation into allegations of human rights violations in the Philippines is a chance for the government to disprove the claims. Reacting to these rejections, Robredo, a lawyer, said she has raised concerns over human rights violations during the Duterte administration. Rep. Pantalaeon Alvarez, House speaker at the time, called Robredo a traitor and said he would consider moves to impeach her as vice president. "If it's true that there aren't any human rights violations in the Philippines, why would we block the investigations? The record was part of the #RealNumbersPH to counter allegedly false information on the so-called war on drugs.
